ANGELA B. PAN

I’ve been waking up for sunrise for years. So much so that it’s hard for me to sleep in anymore. I remember back in college I used to wake up at noon and it’d be the best ever. Now I can’t even sleep past 8a if I tried. Sunday morning was no exception. I actually woke up 10 minutes prior to the time I’d usually wake up for sunrise because I had to go to the bathroom. I looked at the time and was like, “if I’m up anyways, I might as well go take some pictures”. Glad this day didn’t disappoint 🙂

If you have a choice to fly in and out of an airport in the DC area, Id say Reagan National.

First of it is gorgeous. I remember when I was younger and there was only terminal A. Its this old, small building that was not fun at all. However terminal B is soo nice. I love walking through the hallway of windows and getting excited by all the planes that are parked outside.

Second reason to fly out of Reagan, the awesome views at take off and landing. Theres no other way to get an ariel view of the DC area so you might as well as take advantage of the awesomely located airport.

Last reason to fly out of Reagan National- better food options. ‘Nuff said.

Another one from the other night. This one was right before sunset and the sun was shining directly on the trees in Maryland. I had never seen the trees glow so red before. I instantly felt like I was in the Southwest somewhere.

It’s been a long while since Ive visited Great Falls Park. I don’t know why, I just all of the sudden stopped going. So I thought it was time to go back. I went straight to my favorite spot. Its close to the water where the Kayakers take off from. Can you believe people kayak down this? And even in November, you can still see them going up and down the water. I imagine it to be really cold. I can only imagine cuz you won’t catch me in there.

I had so much fun this past Saturday walking around Arlington Cemetery. It was a super nice day, very cool with a little breeze. The perfect excuse to be outside and doing what you love. I remember visiting the cemetery last year towards the end of the color change and making a mental note to be back again. Glad that Jay, Manny, Joe (and his wife and daughter), and Eric were able to join me. They are some local Arcanum photographers who were awesome enough to meet up on this last minute photo adventure. Here’s a picture of us by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. For some reason I felt the need to leave the tripod in the shot. HAHA.

So glad I’m home for all the leaves on trees to be changing. Something about it makes me so happy. I think it reminds me of my mom. You can’t go on a walk with her without her stopping every few steps to look at flowers or fruits growing from a tree. Now that I think of it, people can probably say the same thing about me and taking pictures. HAHA.

And here’s a super awesome photo of me throwing leaves in the air from the same spot 🙂
